Cell alignment question with different resolutions

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

My 2 rows X 3 col table holds a button in each cell. When the web is viewed
with 640 X 480, the cells are fairly close together, with just a little
spacing between each cell. Most importantly, they are spaced evenly across
the page.

At 800 X 600 the cells are further apart, but not spaced evenly.

At 1024 x 768 the cells are still further apart, AND they seemed to be
spaced evenly.

What's the solution, to get equi-spaced cells at all resolutions?

Resolution is not the primary concern. It's browser width. See - on my
1280 pixel wide screen, my browser is rarely more than 720 pixels wide. So
if you were only focused on resolution, you would feed my browser a table
that was much too wide.

Now - what is the solution for expanding tables in different browser
viewports? Don't use a percent width for the table.
